In the mini-courses, we give an advanced introduction to the theory of rational points on modular curves, under both theoretical and computational aspects. These courses would include an introduction to the geometry of modular curves, their ℚ-rational points, classical and non-abelian Chabauty methods, and related computational aspects. We also attempt to strike a balance between the more advanced topics and the down-to-earth examples.
In the discussion meeting, we wish to bring many experts across the world in the area of arithmetic geometry together to share their ideas and the current state of research that will facilitate future research in this direction. We strongly encourage participation of young researchers.
